By Chris Scantleberry

Adventure types should take note that The Adventure Company has plans to publish two new games for the PC later this year. The first title, Journey to the Center of the Moon is described as a "captivating adventure game" based on the popular book From the Earth the Moon authored by Jules Verne.

The game offers an alternative twist unlike the book in which a group of scientists actually succeed in traveling to the center of the moon. Players will be able to wander the surface of the moon in an unstable, but breathable atmosphere and witness the explosion of plant life at dawn. Further, they'll also encounter a subterranean civilization inside the moon which includes an ancient, but highly intelligent race known as the Selenites.

Journey to the Center of the Moon will offer a variety of challenging puzzles, complimented by a built-in Intelligence Management system. Players will be awarded by various actions they execute throughout the game, ultimately raising their score and respect of the Selenites.

The second PC title, The Sacred Rings, is the official sequel to Aura: Fate of the Ages. Developed by Streko-Graphics Inc., The Sacred Rings which puts players in the shoes of a prized pupil sent to retrieve ancient artifacts before they fall into the wrong hands. The point-and-click adventure will offer over 25 puzzles, feature three vast worlds to explore and 40 minutes of incredible cut-scenes. More importantly, players can look forward to a non-linear style of gameplay in which their choices will have significant affects throughout their journey.

The Sacred Rings is scheduled for release in North America and Europe this Fall.
